Vadsø Church, Heritage church building in Vadsø Municipality, Norway
The concrete structure of Vadsø Church stands at the center of Vadsø town, featuring a long church design with space for 480 people.
German forces burned the previous church building during their retreat in October 1944, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1954.
The church serves as the main religious center for the Vadsø parish within the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland, hosting regular services for the local community.
Located near European route E75, the church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors throughout the year, including during the polar night period.
The building experiences both the midnight sun from May to July and complete darkness from November to January due to its location above the Arctic Circle.
